Mechanical dock levelers
BXC Dock Services offers mechanical dock levelers that combine safety, strength, and performance—making them a reliable option for most commercial docks. These cost-effective levelers create a secure link between truck beds and the dock, handling differences in height with durability and ease.
Built to last and simple to use, our mechanical dock levelers use a pull-chain system to raise the deck. Operators can then lower it to meet the trailer bed or return it to its resting position. These models feature a positive lip extension and solid hold-down system, making them dependable under varying conditions. Their manual design keeps costs low while ensuring everyday performance.
